New US Sanctions on Iran Could Be Just the Start
Via Voice of America:
The United States took its first steps in backing up tough talk about Iran, slapping new sanctions on 13 individuals and 12 entities linked to Tehran’s ballistic missile program and its proxies across the Middle East. The targets include Iranian support networks in China and the United Arab Emirates that have been working to help Tehran…

Did you get through to Dave?
dave-dr-gonzo February 4th, 2017 at 19:56
On it. Looks like a number of sites have been hit.

Just wondering, is your email for disqus the one I can use to contact you when something like this happens?

And?

When I googled it, I found a whole series of web sites with the same message on them. No indication that anything else happened. They posted some videos on Youtube, with no sound, but they don’t make any sense to me.

Grandpa, he’s a a coder showing how he jumps a site. He’s good, but not like Grucifer and the other apt’s.
I think you can buy some of his tools from a link in the vid.

Apparently, they’ve been a busy bunch of Turkish and/or Russians. there’s a whole umpteen page list of sites this has happened to, and some supposition that it has to do with the Gallery protocol/software used by bunches of sites.

Same here…
Nothing to fear, nothing to worry about…

Maybe this is a parody from the right about jumping firewalls

I think it is a significant detail that Iran waited until after President Obama left office before engaging in what is apparently a violation of the agreement.
Now, Dear Leader Trump can show everyone how tough he is and rip up the agreement which in my personal opinion is what the Iranians want. I doubt that China will abide by any sanctions and will buy all the Iranian oil they can get.
Admittedly it is pure conjecture as to why Iran would deliberately violate the agreement less than a week after Mr. Obama left office. But I think it is reasonable conjecture that the agreement was more effective than right wingers would have you believe, and the Iranians were looking for a quick way out, sanctions be damned.

Little donald probably, unknowingly violated some part of the agreement. Nobody wants to say though because it’s embarrassing and nobody wants to hurt poor little donalds ego.

……………..he thought Bowling Green is in Iran………..

It’s also a dog whistle to his base. He knows they want to see him romping and stomping around, talking like a tough guy.

Huh?
Wha happen?
Did I miss something?
Hirightnow February 5th, 2017 at 19:23
Somebody managed to replace the original article with their own test. dave-dr-gonzo took quick care of it.

Hey, we have been wondering about you. Some of us are hanging out at http://deepstatenation.com/ and would like to know how you are doing. Can you drop in and say hi?
Mensa Member February 4th, 2017 at 21:38
Russia is dropping bombs on Ukraine and Trump passively does nothing. Iran tests a weapon and Trump acts all macho.
This smells of diversion.

the psychopathic administration in place in the usa now and the previous and the previous make the aggressive behaviors of small countries look like a board game. The usa is responsible for more arbitrary deaths of individuals than all the so called terrorist organizations combined.
Foundryman February 5th, 2017 at 11:41
Trump can’t be trusted or believed enough to support any foreign policy with any other country including Iran. They are in a hurry to start a war with anyone they can, once they do that, their fascist domestic agenda will go under the radar.
There is nothing in the nuclear agreement that prevents them from developing defensive weapons. Trump claiming this is a violation is a lie!
